To become an electrician you have to complete an electrical apprenticeship, which is an Australian Apprenticeship comprising of on-the-job and off-the-job education (a Certificate III in Electrotechnology Electrician) and workplace experience. The off-the-job training can be provided by NECA Education and Careers or another Registered Training Organisation (RTO).

Entry requirements may vary, however employers are attracted to candidates who have completed a Certificate II in Electrotechnology Studies (Pre-Apprenticeship) or Certificate II in Electrotechnology (Career Start) and meet language, literacy and numeracy requirements to ensure your reading, writing and numeracy skills are at the required level for the course.
